I think most of us have heard of Moscow-based illustrator Gudim Anton. He is well known for creating short paneled comic strips full of visual puns and odd quirks that offer a fresh perspective on the modern world. However, as of recently, the artist has been circling around a slightly different idea. Anton created a new Instagram account called “YES, BUT” which includes just two-panel comics telling ironic short stories based on our current society and its values.

Gudim’s sparse style relies solely on his concise storytelling ability and he manages to convey familiar situations and images in a completely fresh and funny way for us to perceive. In his newest works, we see a lot of relatable topics, such as, for example, the psychology behind consumerism and luxury brands, or even controversial topics such as vaccines. We think it’s fair to say that all of these comics do a great job of showing what kind of society we currently live in.
